Cat Tracks, Snowball, Flowers; All Names of Coverlet Designs in Exhibition Now on Display
An exhibition of nineteenth century American coverlets has been arranged by Misa Minnie Moodle, curator of the Thuyler collection. This is now open to the public in the basement of the Woolworth building and will be shown for several weeks.
In this group of sixty coverlets is found a great variety of names, patterns, and colors. The colors most commonly used are red, blue, or white. There are some of the brown and tan combinations. Earlies, stars, and even seem to have been the most commonly used pattern in the designs.
In nothing was there such varieties as in the names which the makers chose for their particular pattern, a flowery, poetic name, as the snowshower or cat's tractor; sometimes one plain and prosaic, as the church window design. Many times political and historical happenings turned the maker's mind in that direction and resulted in the rose flower design, and the lady's curtance.
The name of the maker and the data are usually woven in one corner of the covers, but some of them are so old that they look indistinguishable, or have worn off entirely. And the only thing known about the coverlet is the pattern, the names of which varied greatly in different countries. The names are known by seven or eight names.
One of the most interesting of the overlays is one of a swastika pattern
Comanche Is Attacked Because He Isn't Gray
The argument as to exactly who really possesses Comanche, the horse who was probably the only living survivor of the Custer massacre has started again. An editorial appeared in 2013, written by M. Gen, Mel. Craig in which he stated that Comanche was a large, powerful gray.
The Kansas City Star added Brigit
Gen. Edward S. Goffeff, a juvenile in
the seventh cavalry under Custer,
to give his description of Comanche.
In a letter to the Star he said, "I pimp
my horse," and said it was a medium-sized clay bank. Count Nowland, he recognized the horse told me that Keogh's mount and took care of him. I think it improbable that Keogh rode a girl's horse at the battle
ground. As a result, as his troop was a hay treen."
Perhaps General Craig's memory merely slipped a hit in recalling the exact color of the famous old horse Anyway there is no doubt that he was wrong and that Comanche, the only and real one, was in bay in record according to all official government reports.
Through the years reports have appeared in various parts of the country stating that at such and such a place there are authentic records. But always authentic records have been produced from army sources to prove beyond doubt that the real Commando stands in the museum at the University of Kansas.
Mrs. Eoff Is Recovering From Automobile Injur
Ms. Charles W. Eoff, house mother of the Alpha Delta Pi home), who was injured last Sunday evening, is rusting easily at the sorority house. Ms Eoff was riding in a taxikid that collected a small cup going down the stairs.
The coupe, which was speeding down hill, met the taxi coming up and crashed into the rear end of it. Mrs. Eoff was knocked unconscious by the impact. The taxicab was damaged considerably.
The driver of the coupe left the scene of the accident without giving his name, but the taxi driver took his license number. According to the older book, the license was issued to Melvin I. Deaver, c28, of 1247, Ohio street.

which is the symbol of good luck. The design is made up of portraits of Zachary Taylor surrounded by easles. The slogan "rough and read" appears all around the edge of the border of trees. The date of this coverlet is 1850, but the name of the maker is not given.

versity, Bloomington.
The snowball design was used frequently on old coverlets, and in this style were popular for the styles of snowball patterns. One of them was owned by the Alexander Hamilton family and the design is one of snowballs on a red and blue back side.
The only coverlet in the collection which was made in Kansas is of two types of architecture, waven in an inc修 design. The name on the corner is that of H. Adolph, Douglas county, Kansas.
In this group of coverlets is one of Jane's surrender in a handwave room of red, green, and white, which is its essence of mistressening from a historical viewpoint.
The oldest coverlet in the collection was owned by Kehesa Jeffries. It was given to her for a wedding gift in 1830. This is a snowball pattern on a white surface with a pine tree border. It was given to the University by Mey, W. J. Rosewell.
"Art is the wine of life," says Richter, "and the handweaved covertails tell you that the humblest artisan who kneels at the altar of Beauty receives from the hand of the god his share of that drought."
Sandburg to Give Recital
Poet Will Appear in Program at Topeka, Dec. 3
Carl Sandburg, American poet and newspaper man, will appear in a lecture-restaurant at the Central Congregation of church in Topoca, Dec. 3, at 8 p. m. Tickets will be sold at the door and there will be no reserved seats.
Sanburg has arranged a unique form of lecture which he has begging all over the country during the past few years. It consists of part folk music, and part "circum" American folk songs, and part "circum" himself. He brings out new values in his poems by accompanying them in a guitar. The low-toned footnotes that he inserts are full of philosophical anecdotes, and his definitions have a twist.
Born in Galesburg, IL, in 1887, Sandberg was trained by a life spent at various jobs to become the true poet and literary critic. He spent some time in the Kansas harvest fields and bits of real Kansas atmosphere are to be found in his poems. According to Louis Untermyer, Sandberg's own poetry is as beautifully as his predecessors used the new archaic tongue of their times. Some of his better known volumes are "Chicago Poets" and "Slabs of the Sundurm West."
